Take a look, what's that thing
Something joyous for Hanukkah that I can bring
Nine candles, four and four on each side
The last one remains in the middle
We light 'em up, Kwanza's coming soon
The rabbis' heads are turned
I'll have one!
Menorah... menorah ah... menorah... menorah ah!

Nine candlesticks, all in one lamp
And you can't go wrong trying to take it to camp
Eight candles, each one in a branch
The ninth one is stuck in the middle
I want to get one of my own real soon
And take it home with me
Light it up!
Menorah... menorah ah... menorah... menorah ah! (oh oh oh oh)

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely wait for Christmas Eve to come
Know what I'm sayin'
Uhh, I pray to God, not Satan, when I'm in church

Candles burnin', lights shinin'
On the table altogether now
See no cinders, glowing ember
Just remember, Hanukkah's comin' now

Menorah... menorah ah... menorah... menorah ah! (oh oh oh oh)
Menorah... menorah ah! (oh oh oh oh)
Menorah!
